Artist Q&A: Ben Folds
Biggest celeb’s home you’ve gotten drunk in?William Shatner. We were having dinner near Disneyland, and we just walked over and he manager to get them to open a ride for us at 11 p.m.
Ever been declared legally dead?
Career-wise.
Ever killed an animal?
I decapitated a couple-hundred-pound black bear while going about 80 mph in the tour van. He’d just been eating on the side of the road, and I guess he looked up. He still had grass in his mouth. It totaled the van’s front end.
Is there a stripper pole in your house?
No, I’ve got a trampoline. but if any strippers want to come over and jump, they are welcome—as long as they have insurance.
Ever get lucky on a plane?
That’s how I met my current wife.
VERDICT!
Crashing Disneyland with Cap’n Kirk and bear brains in the grille? Ben Folds rocks!
